What infrastructure additions has the port made to support shippers over the past two years?
We’ve moved ahead with the development of our intermodal container transfer facilit, a $30 million project that will be completed in December. This will offer our customers the ability to get their boxes directly from the maritime terminal to the rail facility on dedicated trains that will be moving to intermodal destinations beyond Jacksonville.
What do you have in place to get trucks in and out fast?
Our tenants operate facilities here and each has their own unique gate, so we don’t have every customer coming into our facility through one dedicated gate facility. They pass through our prescreening gate to make sure that everybody accessing the secure area of our port has the proper credentials.
What’s your elevator pitch?
You could reach 60 million consumers within one day’s truck drive of the Port of Jacksonville. The connectivity in the modes of transportation come together in this port. It’s the ease of operation, diversity of assets and our ability to offer flexible solutions for a variety of different customers.
